Article: [senco-forum] dyslexia friendly help please!

As a support teacher, I have been asked to do some work in a high  school 
with individual depts. looking at dyslexia friendly issues relating to  each 
subject area.This is following up a whole school inset last term to raise  
awareness. The overwhelming feedback from that was that there was too much  theory 
-what was wanted was practical strategies.
We have just had the first session for the R.E. dept.It was well received,  
mainly beacause we had an excellent experienced AST giving e.g.s of  
differentiation she had brought with her. I also did a bit on pupils' views and  
multisensory learning.
 
Problem is, there aren't enough ASTs!! I would really appreciate any ideas  
for how to organise the other sessions, bearing in mind that I am not an  
experienced secondary teacher and feel that credibility is crucial.
 
Many thanks, optimistically,
Maggie Chessher
